Sometimes it's nice to get advice from experts with a lot of letter degrees behind their names, but other times, you just need to hear what another parent (with a M.O.M. behind her name) has done that has worked. You've got questions? These moms have answers.

Semen has a hormone called prostaglandin that induces contractions. The after pains you may be feeling could be due to small but harmless contractions, going too deep, or the uterus getting heavier. Some people use condoms during this time to prevent the semen from reaching the cervix. This is just a comfort thing. Contractions are totally harmless.
